Wild Mind, Wild Earth: Zen Wisdom and Poetry in a Time of Ecological Crisis

David Hinton’s work explores how the wisdom, poetry, and practice of Chinese Buddhism invite us to recognize the kinship of mind and nature, a relationship that must be reanimated if we are to address the intersecting ecological crises of our time. How classical Chinese Buddhism, especially Chan, and contemporary environmental thought flow together at this critical juncture in human history is at the heart of Hinton’s new book, Wild Mind, Wild Earth: Our Place in the Sixth Extinction. David will be joined in conversation by Buddhist scholar and environmental philosopher William Edelglass, Director of Studies at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies.
